Re:Breakthrough at Mortain in CB2. How do we record the score in this scenario.

Please note that if you only report 5 as the winning score for the Germans and the allies got 6 kills or more then you German win will be recorded as a loss in your service record.

This seems to be standard in scenarios with victory conditions like this.

So , if the Germans win (by capturing the needed 5 OMs), I would just score it 12 German to whatever the Allies scored. in this case, players would then be aware that the Germans got the 5.

If players report a German win with a 5-4 score when the allies actually killed more than 4 units, then the avg allied score in thsi scenario is thrown off and without an aar, players are given a flase impression on how well one side or the other does.

If the Germans lose, record the Allied kills against the number of objectives the Germans captured.

Hello, and sorry for bumping this again.

I only see a problem with this scenario and the scoring for the campaign.

If Germans do count the medals gained in the game, plus the units killed, they get a double benefit since in the Objective Track for the Axis they get additional points.

For instance, let's suppose that the Axis player was able to get 4 objectives out of 7 and he killed 7 units.

His final score would be 11 points, but he will get 2 additional points as per the Objective Track.

The situation gets worse if the German managed to capture the 5 permanent objectives. He will score 12 points for the scenario, plus 3 additional points as per the Objective Track.

This scoring system may drastically unbalance the whole campaign, since the Axis can gain for a single scenario up to 15 points.

What are your thoughts?

I'm sure we've had this discussion before about this or another similar scenario.
